Blair felt helpless. She could do nothing about this childish lady. In the end, she had to share a bed with her.
In retrospect, Blair hadn’t slept in the sbed with anyone in a long time. Back when she was at the university, she had occasionally had a sleepover with Joslyn but apart from that, she liked her bed to herself. After the graduation, she had been sleeping alone all the time.
Seeing that Blair had rolled to one side of the bed, leaving most of the bed empty, Cecelia thought that the girl was so cute.
“Don’t be nervous, dear. I won’t roll around in my sleep. You can move closer to my side.
Blair meekly moved a few inches closer to the middle of the bed.

“Aunt
Cecelia, since you Love girls so much, why didn’t you give birth to a third child when you were young? Maybe you would’ve had a daughter.”
She suddenly posed a question.
Cecelia had once said that she loved girls, and that she regretted not having a daughter when she could.
The mother Lay down beside her.
“Wesley’s dad didn’t wantto have a third child.” She sighed, “He saw how much I had to suffer to give birth. I told him many times I wanted a daughter, because daughters are always warm and
considerate.
Then he toldthat I would have two warm and considerate daughters-in-Law in the future, so why do I have to give birth to a daughter and suffer pain myself?”
After a pause, she looked at Blair and continued, “You know, there are always problems between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. I’m worried that the young aren’t usually willing to Live with the elders, or we may have difficulties communicating with the young.”
Blair nodded in understanding. Indeed, the relationship between a mother-in-Law and a daughter-in- law could be sensitive sometimes. It was social phenomenon that occurred more than often.
“But you’re a nice person. I think you’ll surely get along with your future daughter-in-Law. There won’t be a problem in your case,” she comforted the anxious mother.

“You said the sthings as my husband. He always says that my personality is like a child. I’m good with people, so I won’t have problems getting along with anyone. If I treat my daughter-in-law like my own daughter, she will surely treatas a real mother. Blair, is that what you think too?”
Blair suddenly felt baffled. Why was she asking her that? She wondered if she should take this opportunity to explain her relationship with
Niles. But then she decided against it. She’d better off finding a more suitable opportunity to tell the happy mother. If Cecelia knew the truth now, she might end up having a sleepless night. So she nodded,
“Yes, I think so too. People should have mutual respect towards each other. Heart to heart, that’s the basic rule.”
Cecelia suddenly held Blair’s hand and said with much emphasis, “Just be yourself. Don’t hold back.”
“What?” Blair was confused.
“I heard from your uncle that you used to be upbeat, outgoing.
Cheerful, even. You’re a lot quieter now, maybe because your parents died. Blair, you’re like my own daughter. Do what you want to do. Be who you want to be. Okay?”
The kind mother’s warm words touched Blair’s heart. Tears sprang to her eyes and they flowed down her cheek.
